On a Sunday that number seems to go way up, I've never heard a number before but I wouldn't be surprised if I've been on a 17+ 1K flight to/from CLE before. I saw a 175 with 50 on the UG list for CLE out of IAD a couple years ago

(I do know that a number of CLE GSes were culled because I've personally overheard at least 7-8 or so lamenting their newfound lack of status.)
